Uninvited

-I wrote this from listening to the song Uninvited by Alanis Morissette-

So tired,
So drained,
The unwanted feeling,
Turns out the light.

Theres nothing left to see,
Nothing left to touch,
The walls I once knew,
My security has crumbled.

My happiness has blown away,
Like wood burning an orange glow,
And pain starts to creep,
Like life on the highway.

Chains have wrapped its strength around me,
And the key is so far away,
Rusting metal itches away my skin,
And it's the bone you begin to see.

Blue eyes turn to misting gray,
Hair matted with the sweat and tears,
Screams seem to go un-noticed,
As my strength begins to degrade.

My heart and mind,
Has nothing to live for,
Nothing but the tangled vines,
That seem to be squeezing tighter and tighter.

My eyes are cold,
Nothing left to show,
Nothing left but a picture,
Of how I wasn't left a chance,
To rid me of my pain.

I'm dead and gone,
From the world today,
I fought as hard as I could,
To see nothing but a dead end,
Wasted years to finally see,
A brick wall in my face.

    First i love the first stanza and the last three stanzas.. from the beginning you successfully expressed the vivid emotion and successfully retain that 'til the very last line in the last stanza. the imagination and the chosen words were great it, flowed smoothly!

    I really liked this poem to tell you the truth, it seemed to flow nicely to me I didn't see it go off at all within places. The ending line was really effective definitly my favorite part of this piece was how you ended it. The emotins qre quite deep within this they were held together strongly by a great word choice. An interesting piece you have here. Well done deserves a 5/5 ~mel
